After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day

Chapter 43: Entering the palace to express gratitude

"The Queen Mother is in good health and there is nothing wrong with her!"

After taking the Queen Mother's pulse, the doctor gave the same answer as the imperial physician.

The Queen Mother lowered her sleeves, looked at her niece with a frown, and said with a smile, "You worry too much, child. I have the imperial physician attending to my health all day long, and there is nothing wrong with me!"

"Fu Guang, send the doctor out of the palace!" Zhu Qing'an ordered. Fu Guang immediately understood that this was not only to let her know that the doctor should not talk too much, but also to give the doctor a generous reward.

"The princess is concerned about your health, the Queen Mother. This kind of heart is unmatched by anyone else!" Guan Gongling personally brought the dinner into the backyard and placed the dinner on the round pearwood table in the yard with a smile.

"I know you are filial, but don't be too anxious! I have so many imperial doctors around me, everything is fine!" The empress dowager washed her hands and comforted her niece beside her.

The Queen Mother was naturally aware of how much her niece cared about her health these days. She also thought that it was because she was sick last time that she scared her niece, so she didn't think much about it.

On the one hand, I am touched by my niece's filial piety, but on the other hand, I feel sorry for her busy life.

Zhu Qing'an wiped her aunt's hands with a handkerchief and nodded in agreement, but she had other thoughts in her mind. In her previous life, the imperial physician had always said that her aunt was healthy, but in the end, she was sick.

The aunt and niece sat together for dinner. The dinner was not particularly sumptuous, with only four simple dishes and one soup, and the portion of each dish was very light.

Zhu Qing'an has been raised by her aunt since she was a child, and she has always known that her aunt is not a wasteful person. Any concubine in the palace is more extravagant than her aunt, but her aunt has been the same all these years, and she asks the imperial kitchen to prepare as much wine as she can drink.

Influenced by her surroundings, Zhu Qing'an also developed this kind of character. Although she dressed well and ate delicacies from land and sea, she never wasted any food.

It was because her aunt had taught her when she was a child that there were still many people in the world who could not even afford white rice. They could live a good life, but they could not be proud of wasting.

"Young Master Shen from the Shen family will be leaving Ancheng soon, right?" The Queen Mother mentioned it as if she was chatting after drinking a bowl of bird's nest and four-treasure soup.

Zhu Qing'an was mixing rice with bamboo fungus and tofu soup. When he heard his aunt's words, he subconsciously lowered his eyes.

Perhaps she herself didn't know it, but whenever she was unhappy, she would make such small movements. Therefore, the Queen Mother knew at a glance that Shen Shixin had made her niece unhappy.

"Yes, this is all thanks to you, aunt!" Zhu Qing'an said as he served the food to his aunt.

Even though there were some problems between her and Shen Shixin, Zhu Qingan never thought of giving up this relationship. She could never give up the man who was willing to entrust his life to her.

But Zhu Qing'an also knew that her aunt was very protective of her family. If she knew that the Shen family treated her like this, she would probably feel dissatisfied with Shen Shixin.

One was her most respected aunt, and the other was her beloved husband. She naturally hoped that there would be no grudge between them.

The Queen Mother saw that Zhu Qing'an was trying to whitewash Taibai and did not expose her. She just sighed in her heart that her child had grown up after all and had his own little thoughts on love.

"When I arranged the marriage for you, it was only because I thought the Shen family was honest and Shen Shixin was a man of his word and upright! However, there is only one bad thing about Shen Shixin. Like his father, he is a bit pedantic!" The empress dowager ate her dinner slowly while commenting on Shen Shixin.

Zhu Qing'an listened quietly. She wanted to say that Shen Shixin in his previous life was not pedantic, but when she thought about it carefully, the current Shen Shixin was indeed a bit pedantic.

"When I arranged your marriage, I specifically researched the Shen family. Father Shen is okay, but Madam Shen comes from a humble background and has a difficult and demanding personality!"

Zhu Qingan just felt that her aunt was right. After the few times she had come into contact with Shen's mother, she was indeed tricky and difficult to deal with.

"Fortunately, you are a princess, and your father is Marquis Wen'an. I have your backing. As long as you act with dignity, the Shen family will naturally be unable to do anything to you!" The Queen Mother put down her silver chopsticks and said earnestly, "Qing'an, no matter how much you love a man, you must love yourself first!"

Facing his aunt's earnest gaze, Zhu Qingan felt a warm feeling in his heart, and always felt that his aunt knew something.

"Don't worry, aunt, Qing'an understands everything!" Zhu Qing'an took the tea for rinsing the mouth brought by Guan Gongling and handed it to his aunt to express his attitude.

She can tolerate Shen's mother because of Shen Shixin, but that doesn't mean she is really weak and can be bullied.

The Queen Mother looked at the clarity in her niece's eyes and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that her niece, who had never experienced love, would fall headfirst into it.

Even though she had taught her niece to respect herself and not to regard her husband as the most important thing since she was young, the world was such that it was inevitable that her niece would lose her mind when she first experienced love.

Fortunately, my niece is no longer that foolish girl, and all my hard work and effort in teaching her over the years have not been in vain.

"Your marriage with Young Master Shen has been planned for a long time. If Young Master Shen does his job well this time, I will bring up your marriage when he returns to Ancheng!" The Queen Mother said, and then looked at her niece beside her, feeling reluctant.

Although I know that my niece is in love with Shen Shixin and will still stay in Ancheng after getting married, I still feel reluctant to let her go.

"I'll listen to my aunt in everything!" Zhu Qing'an smiled and remembered what Shen Shixin had said, that they would get married when he came back.

Zhu Qing'an stayed in the palace. The next day, Shen Shixin was about to leave Ancheng. Before leaving, he specially came to the palace to express his gratitude, and the empress dowager personally summoned Shen Shixin.

Shen Shixin also knew that he was able to become the imperial envoy to supervise the construction of the river because the empress dowager recommended him against all odds, and he was very grateful.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the Cining Palace, he knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, I greet the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother live a thousand years!"

The empress dowager sat firmly on the high platform, looking at Shen Shixin who was kneeling in the hall. The official uniform on him made him look as tall and straight as a pine or cypress. He wore a jade crown to tie his hair, and his eyebrows and eyes were handsome. He was truly an orchid and a jade tree.

The Queen Mother was satisfied with the appearance. Her niece was beautiful, so her future husband must also be good-looking.

"Get up!" The Queen Mother said calmly.

"This time you go to Xingzhou and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the people. Don't let me down!" the Queen Mother urged.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty the Queen, I will work diligently and will never let you down or the people!" Shen Shixin said in a firm and powerful voice.

"Now that you've returned, it's time to bring up your marriage with the princess! But I still want to ask you something today. If you marry the princess, you'll only have her by your side from now on. No concubines or maids are allowed. Do you have any complaints? If so, I'll give you one chance!"
